Effect of central thermal stimulation on the thermoregulatory behavior of the pigeon

I Schmidt. Pflugers Arch. .

Abstract

Pigeons, trained to work for cooling reinforcement under an ambient heat load, were centrally thermostinulated. Warming the spinal cord and/or the rostral brain stem led to an increase in response rate, while cooling produced a reduction in response rate.
